Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Steve Mesirow: How Solo Attorneys Can Defer Hundreds of Thousands in Taxes
Q: What are the two biggest steps a solo attorney should take if they have nothing in place yet?
Start now by building a basic retirement plan with your advisor, and avoid being overly conservative about the time horizon. Begin with a simple vehicle like a Solo 401k or traditional 401k and progressively scale to a cash balance plan if feasible, as that can unlock much higher annual contributions for long-term wealth.
Robert Harney: How Smarter Phone Systems Stop Law Firms from Losing Clients at First Contact
Q: What are the first two or three moves to stop losing clients at first contact this month?
Make sure someone answers the phone quickly with warm, professional greetings; ensure a rapid follow-up (within five minutes if possible); and use automated data collection and timely text follow-ups to reassure prospects that they've found the right firm.
Ep 3: Mid-Journey Checklist – Business Basics for a Balanced Life
Q: What's the key to delegating effectively in a growing practice?
Interview and hire the right people, then let them sink or swim; schedule regular reviews, avoid hovering, and use fractional resources when full-time hires aren't justified by the workload.
Ep 3: Mid-Journey Checklist – Business Basics for a Balanced Life
Q: How do you balance sales/marketing with work-life balance, especially for solo practitioners?
Develop a marketing apparatus that runs continuously, use technology to sustain outreach, and reserve specific times for follow-up calls to maintain discipline and sanity while keeping a steady flow of prospects.
Ep 3: Mid-Journey Checklist – Business Basics for a Balanced Life
Q: If you could pick one business practice that has made your life easier, Ron, what would it be?
Implementing and maintaining an operating system for the business so you can step away with confidence that things run smoothly and you can focus on family and personal time without feeling like you're chasing the business constantly.
